The `strace` or `ktrace` utils are found on unix-like systems. The simplest usage is, e.g., `prompt> strace perl myscript.pl` [download] which will be followed by a huge dump of information. If you're on a winders system, perhaps someone who knows will suggest an equivalent diagnostic utility. After Compline, Zaxo	[reply] [d/l]

Assuming that you are on a linux system, either do a `man strace` or check out the man page for strace. IIRC, ktrace is more of a *BSD thing. If you are using a BSD platform, then check out the ktrace man page. It all depends on what platform you are doing this all on.	[reply] [d/l]

These tools can print out information about system calls that the perl interpreter makes to your operating system to get things done. (eg: opening a file and any error that occurred) I don't normally use strace until I'm out of other ideas but it can be helpful. On Linux you can use strace, on Solaris truss, and on OpenBSD ktrace. Check out the man page or try googling for some examples.	[reply]
